Like the musicians of Les Talens Lyriques, the students form an orchestra and perform musical works. Each participant has a computer tablet, which controls a musical instrument or a vocal part, as well as various musical parameters. This enables participants to study, understand and reproduce the work of a professional orchestra. They learn to distinguish the timbres of the various instruments, form a coherent group, and collaborate to produce a musical work. One of them, playing the role of the conductor, coordinates the digital orchestra.
« In a regular music class, you have to listen, to sing, or write, but here it’s a hands-on experience. A conductor decides on volume, tells us where to add ornaments… I like to play the conductor, because I like to be in charge! »
Booz, a student at the Collège Balzac
Everyone is able to compose their own piece in the manner of a musical puzzle. The musicians of Les Talens Lyriques have recorded themes and their many variations: all you have to do is put them together!
An invitation to explore one’s creativity and imagination.
By connecting several tablets, the different versions created can be altered and combined to form a harmonious composition.
Everyone can get to know the art of interpretation. This application enables participants to produce their own version of harpsichord pieces by taking the place of harpsichordist Christophe Rousset at his instrument.
